I love Thanksgiving as it is just the 5 of us at home... we don't even answer the phones unless it's Grams in Florida!!!!

I will cook our meal and we will eat about 1ish. I make enough to feed a small army.
We will watch the parade and movies.

DH and the kids will drag the 20+ Christmas totes down so we can start decorating the house... Our home loses about 1/3rd of it's size during the holidays!!! The kids laugh because it becomes quite cozy and after the holidays are house increases in size! LOL

I don't do BF. So, Friday will be my scrapbooking day.

We are headed to my family's gathering this Sunday. Actually, looking forward to it because my parents are going to be talking to my kidlets about staying with them one whole day/night at Disney.. DH and I will have a mini-moon for 24 hours!

FIL will come over the Saturday after Thanksgiving to spend with us and have a meal. I believe DsSs will be over... nothing has been confirmed because eldest in college is stressed and not speaking to anyone right now.

Thursday, it'll be just the three of us and together we'll cook dinner which we'll eat around 1-ish. Then, we'll get all the Christmas decorations down from the attic. Normally we'd also play games and watch movies and start decorating, but I'm working at Michaels that day and have to be there at 3:30.

Friday, I'll start decorating the house (I don't go Black Friday shopping). The tree goes up first and that takes a few hours to do since I stop and reminisce about the ornaments while unpacking them! I work that afternoon/night.

I'm off this weekend, so on Saturday I'll finish decorating the house and then DH and I will do something together.

On Sunday, we'll head down to DH's Mom and sister's house to spend some time with them.

Wednesday- CLEAN since I am hostessing. Last minute food prep and get Tom Turkey ready. Wednesday night company will be arriving (in-laws, DB) and we will have dinner (easy dinner- two different soups in crock pot). Then we play games and hang out.

It will be quieter here on Thanksgiving, just 5 of us. It's our first Thanksgiving without mom, and we usually have 25 people at her house - but, seems everyone is heading in different directions. The weekend will be livelier - love that!! I do not do BF shopping ( except at Michael's), so i hope to finish my second Special Olympics scarf!! Will also get started with Christmas decorations.
I am actually having a honey ham for dinner - first time trying this. Love making scalloped potatoes, butternut squash - my dd makes awesome French meat pies!!

Thanksgiving is here this year, so I will be a busy bee. I hope to get a lot of things out of the way on Wednesday. (Too bad I cannot use some Harry Potter magic to increase the size of my fridge!) Thursday I will go to M's, then come home for dinner and plan the rest of my shopping. Friday will be spent shopping, while DH sets up the tree and all of that. The rest of the weekend we plan on relaxing and visiting relatives.

Tomorrow night is our work Thanksgiving-gotta make stuffing and a dessert, thinking pumpkin cheesecake.
Work Weds, the girls and grandma will be making pies that day
Thursday- were hosting the familes, so gotta cook. Girls and DBF are in charge of cleaning
Friday-Sleeping in, working on swaps, maybe a movie
Saturday-DD#3's bday party at Chuck E Cheese, please shoot me now!! Thankfully its an early party and only 1 child has rsvp'd The relaxing!!
Sunday is back to work.
